Yes it is legit. since posting this I have found that it might be related to the cpu not the os. This computer that I built has an AMD FX cpu. I am now thinking that there is an issue with the motherboards core unlocking..ASUS..I am going to look at the pc this weekend, but have a feeling this is what I will find. So far all my knowledge of the issue is through text messages. I thank you for your response and if you think I am an the wrong track please feel free to correct me.I also learned that this screen posts at shutdown not at startup like I was lead to believe. I am thinking this might be a failure message put out by the cpu, but unfortunatly I cant read Chinese ..
